So...

What are you guys going to do about it?

[laserhawk]

I'm not going to do anything about it. Why would I?

[placation]

You're not going to kiss him again...?

[laserhawk]

It's not enough, even if I may want to.

He has to want it too.

[placation]

How do you know he doesn't?

[laserhawk]

That's my point. I don't know.

He has to come to that realization.

[placation]

You could always ask him, couldn't you?

[laserhawk]

Yeah, I'm sure that'll go great.

[placation]

You don't have to if you don't want to, of course, but...

Odasaku's ideal future included you. I think it's safe to put a little more faith in him. Right?

[laserhawk]

It's not a lack of faith.

I just want to hear him say it for himself.

[ not because dolph asked. not because dolph has to be the one to chase, to ask, to pursue. and truly, he's not even sure he wants to. he's happy with what they have, what they remain as. ]

[placation]

Ah. That does make sense.

I suppose as long as you're happy with what happened in that room, that's all that matters, right? I'm glad...

[laserhawk]

I am. Any outcome's fine with me.

[placation]

Then that's all that's important to me.

[laserhawk]

That's all?

[placation]

Of course. I can't hope for any particular outcome, since it's not my life!

So long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Your happiness is important to me, Dolph... surely you know that.

[laserhawk]

I do.

I just wonder if this is what greed looks like.

[placation]

I don't think it is.

Greed implies wanting too much. If anything, I think you still don't allow yourself to want enough.

[laserhawk]

Even with everything I have?

[ he has so much now. in the past, he could have never comprehended this kind of existence. ]

[placation]

Yes, even with everything you have.

Trust me. I'm a doctor.

[laserhawk]

Smooth.

[placation]

I thought so!

But seriously, Dolph, you're fine. If you were being selfish or greedy, I would tell you. It's my duty as your best friend.

[laserhawk]

[ that's true. maruki wouldn't let him off. ]

Yeah. You're right.

Guess we'll see how it goes.
